What is the Toyota Tundra’s payload capacity?

I take a lot of big trips, and some of them involve heavy equipment. That said, I need a car that can handle my gear. What exactly is the Toyota Tundra’s payload capacity?

If you’re looking for a truck that can handle plenty of weight,
Toyota
is a great place to start. With a generally reliable reputation and a relatively low resale value, Toyota trucks are ideal investments for anyone that wants a long-term ride. Specifically, the 2022
Toyota Tundra
offers high specs like a payload capacity of 1,565 to 1,940 pounds, depending on the trim level and configuration.
A brand new Toyota Tundra costs around $35,000 for a base model. But earlier models with similar features cost significantly less. Used Tundras from as recently as 2018 can go for as little as $20,000. And the payload capacity doesn’t change significantly from one year to the next, so you should be fine moving cargo with an earlier model.
Remember that the Tundra is intended as an affordable option. While it has a relatively high payload capacity for the cost, more expensive trucks can often carry more weight. In fact, some heavy-duty trucks like the
Ford F-350
can carry as much as 8,000 pounds. But if you’re looking for a reliable truck to carry your gear on trips, you’ll probably be fine with a Toyota Tundra.
Buying a new truck can be expensive, so you probably don’t want to spend much more on car insurance. Luckily, the
